$ fortune | cowsay _________________________________________ / A fellow bought a new car, a Nissan, \ | and was quite happy with his purchase. | | He was something of an animist, | | however, and felt that the car really | | ought to have a name. This presented a | | problem, as he was not sure if the name | | should be masculine or feminine. | | | | After considerable thought, he settled | | on an naming the car either Belchazar | | or Beaumadine, but remained in a | | quandry about the final choice. | | | | "Is a Nissan male or female?" he began | | asking his friends. Most of them looked | | at him pecularly, mumbled things about | | urgent appointments, and went on their | | way rather quickly. | | | | He finally broached the question to a | | lady he knew who held a black belt in | | judo. She thought for a moment and | | answered "Feminine." | | | | The swiftness of her response puzzled | | him. "You're sure of that?" he asked. | | | | "Certainly," she replied. "They | | wouldn't sell very well if they were | | masculine." | | | | "Unhhh... Well, why not?" | | | | "Because people want a car with a | | reputation for going when you want it | | to. And, if Nissan's are female, it's | | like they say... `Each Nissan, she | | go!'" | | | | [No, we WON'T explain it; go ask | | someone who practices an oriental | | | | martial art. (Tai Chi Chuan probably | \ doesn't count.) Ed.] / ----------------------------------------- \ ^__^ \ (oo)\_______ (__)\ )\/\ ||----w | || ||
